So maybe they figured out too late that it wasn't so big a deal as they thought for the first event.
Sounds like a friendly reply.
I know for me-I have met a few younger people who are more than reasonable potentials.
But it generally falls into a closer age range for me.
MIND YOU;
I'm already happily married, busy with school full time, 2 of 5 kids are still at home (3 are grown) and 2 grandkids I care for a couple days a week.
So my time for "dating" is limited anyway.
MOST of my social time is spent in group interactions and I can't imagine any of the social groups I'm personally in limiting age because we often have family friendly functions and then any "dating" is scheduled separate.
But I've seen it and heard of it.
In my classes at the college I'm primarily surrounded by 20-somethings (I'm 39) & I can't imagine dating any of them. Their worlds are so chaotic compared to what I have time to add to my life.
But I recall being much the same at those ages. As my responsibilities increased, my chaos decreased because my time to "play" decreased. LOL
That may change again once the last of hte kids moves out! I may find myself our partying more with the young ones when I don't have young ones at home driving me nuts! HAHA
My father in law certainly has.
